Taking the House for Conservatives

I don’t need to tell you how important this upcoming election is. As conservatives, we have a historic opportunity to not just make Barack Obama a one-term president, but to take back the Senate and bolster conservatives in the House. Part of that means getting rid of liberal Republicans.

Back in October, Erick wrote here on Redstate.com that Tim Murphy needed to be primaried. I agree. In fact that is exactly what I am doing. I believe it’s time for Western Pennsylvania to have a true conservative representative who will put the next generation before the next election and the Constitution over crony capitalism.

I’m grateful to have the support of conservatives not just at home in Western Pennsylvania, but around the country. Just last week, FreedomWorks endorsed my candidacy, calling me a “serious, thoughtful candidate with a deep commitment to fiscal responsibility, something the incumbent Tim Murphy’s record clearly shows he lacks.” The Club for Growth has been running television ads that highlight Murphy’s consistent support for Big Labor, Big Bailouts, and Big Government.

But, as has been the case from the beginning, I need your help. We need to prove to the Washington establishment that the national conservative movement can and will raise money for candidates that share our principles.

This is a race that will send a deafening message to career politicians everywhere that the American People will take their government back, one seat at a time. This is a race in which you can make a tremendous difference by contributing as little as $25, $50 or even $100.
